A late 19th century view of Christ Church Cathedral, aka The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Dublin, Ireland. The cathedral was founded in the early 11th century under the Viking king Sitric Silkenbeard. It was rebuilt in stone in the late 12th century under the Norman potentate Strongbow, and considerably enlarged in the early 13th century, however, a partial collapse in the 16th century left it in poor shape. When extensively renovated and rebuilt from 1871 to 1878 by George Edmund Street, the flying buttresses were added as a decorative feature. The north porch was removed. Street also built the adjacent Synod Hall, linked to the cathedral by the iconic covered footbridge. The "two cathedral" issue was resolved making Christ Church the sole and undisputed cathedral of the Dublin diocese and St Patrick's the national cathedral.
